Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 22, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, Feb. 22, 2013

I had three of the four winners as my top picks, including a $12.00 winner, but missed the eighth race last night. Tonight's sequence looks tougher than last night.

$1 play: 1256/178/27/69 = $48

Analysis:

Race 7: I'm using all four of my contenders in this wide open race for quality pacing mares.

Race 8: This A-2 Trot is tough. (1) Monsignor Flan gets a better spot this week. (7) Il Mago is my top pick off a nice first over effort. (8) Equity showed good speed in last and has Gingras.

Race 9: I'm using the two older but classy mares, (2) Ramona Disomma and (7) Don't Blame Her. These are the class of the field.

Race 10: This trot is tough but I'm already at $48 using two so I'll stick with (9) Macho Lindy off the drop in class, and (6) Fool's Revenue, who takes a sharp drop in class off a layoff.
